Online Casino Stands Against Churches

Now let’s not get too hasty in assessing the previous statement, the online casino gambling industry is certainly not against the churches themselves, but the internet gambling industry is taking a sigh of relief that the government and the Internal Revenue Service are standing up for the tax code and policies that forbid tax-exempt organizations from entering the political arena with their opinion. Some of the churches are crying foul at this latest move by the IRS and claiming that this squashes their First Amendment rights. But the online casino gambling industry is standing behind the government’s policy – tax-exempt organizations do not have the right to persuade public opinion in the political arena.

This whole issue has cropped up because a handful of US tax-exempt organizations entered into the political debate surrounding the last elections specifically to campaign against the online casinos. A minister out of Minnesota was recently investigated by the IRS for his political sermons last year that touched on the online casino gambling debate waging in the US and also vocally supported candidate John McCain. Another tax-exempt organization, Focus on the Family, is very prominent right now in the internet gambling debate and there is no question that this organization is against legalized and regulated internet gambling in the US.

The online casinos for once stand on the side of the US law in their assertions that the church and tax-exempt organizations should not be entering into the public debate. And although the minister in question is still peeved and asserting that this tax-code limits his Constitutional rights, the fact still stands and there has been no move to strike it down, tax-exempt organizations are not allowed to enter public political debate.
